Navigating Mutual Fund Risks with SEBI's Riskometer
Given the vast array of mutual funds available, investors can utilize the new Riskometer provided by SEBI to select schemes that align with their risk tolerance. This tool is particularly beneficial for those who are new to mutual funds and unsure about which scheme matches their risk profile.
However, it is important to recognize that while the Riskometer provides a general indication of risk levels, many other factors should be taken into account when choosing a fund. The Riskometer should not be relied upon as the sole indicator.
